Question: Suppose someone throws a homemade bomb into a shopping mall, injuring several people. in which case would this best qualify as terrorism? (answers in picture)

Options:

  • A) The person is influenced by drugs.
  • B) The person is angry at the mall manager.
  • C) The person has a political objective.
  • D) The person thinks the mall is empty.

Answer: The correct answer is option: C) The person has a political objective.

Step-by-step explanation: Terrorism is known as the use of intentionally indiscriminate violence to create terror or fear in people with the objective of achieving a religious or political aim. Terrorists can't directly control the government's responses or decisions so often a terrorist organization will plan and do violent acts in hopes that the government will over-react and respond, favoring the terrorist's expectations.

If someone throws a homemade bomb into a shopping mall injuring several people then in the below mentioned case would this best qualify as terrorism:

(C) The person has a political objective.

because in the United States, a common definition of terrorism is the systematic or threatened use of violence to create a general climate of fear to intimidate a population or government and thereby affect political ,religious or ideological change.
